Episode Details

For years, Ashley could spot it in her coworkers. She could see the traits, connect the dots, and even ask them directly. But she couldn't see it in herself. In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Ash shares the full story of how a single comment from her shadow work coach sent her down a research rabbit hole that finally gave her the answers she'd been searching for her whole life.

From a misdiagnosis of borderline personality disorder, to testing off the charts for Asperger's and high masking, to deciding she doesn't need a piece of paper to validate what she already knows in her body — this is Ashley's story of discovering she is neurodivergent, and what that realization changed for her.

This episode is raw, honest, and for anyone who has ever felt fundamentally different and couldn't explain why.
